Sleepers Hill in Winchester Emerges As The Best Street in the UK
Winchester has been declared the best place to live in the UK by Channel 4 television presenters Phil Spencer and Sophie Allsopp. However, for those looking to move into the area, email4property.co.uk have gone a step further, with advice on the most desirable streets in these towns to put at the top of the homebuyer's wish list.
As Winchester stakes its claim as the best town to live in the UK, Sleepers Hill, a quiet residential street situated close to the town centre and Royal Hampshire City Hospital, has emerged as the most desirable street. While the average house prices in Winchester are estimated at £268,544, homes in Sleepers Hill achieve an average of £1,235,000, according to email4property.co.uk, making it the most expensive and most desirable street in town.
With sweeping views over the city and only a short five minute walk into the centre, Sleepers Hill offers its residents a private and secluded area, boasting access to local amenities and attracting families who flock to become owners of some of the few remaining large Victorian family homes in the area.
However, for those moving into the town looking to steer away from the steep prices currently being achieved in streets such as Sleepers Hill and others such as St Giles Hill and Lankhills Road, buyers are recommended to commence their property search in Peninsula Road or Fivefields Close, where the average home can be purchased for just £88,750.
Achieving second place in the list of the best places to live in the UK is Horsham in West Sussex. Family homes in Kerves Lane are achieving a premium, making it Horsham's most expensive and highly sought after street. While the town's average prices do not quite reach the top end prices currently being experienced in Winchester they are not far behind, with the price of a home achieving an average of £1,177,500. The street proves particularly popular with families who are drawn in by its secluded and countrified feel, while at the same time being only a short five minute car journey from the town centre.
Taking third place on the list is Tunbridge Wells, in Kent, where prices are equally competitive and where homes in its top streets still reach prices in excess of £1 million. In fact, the average price of a home in Caverley Park, Tunbridge Wells most expensive street, achieves in the region of £1,625,000, making it the most expensive street among the top three.
